Restaurants with Mobile Apps That Will Change the Way You Eat

Move over mozzarella sticks and spinach artichoke dip, there’s a whole new set of apps poised to change the way we eat at restaurants.

OK, so the apps we’re referring to aren’t the ones that served before an entree—they’re the ones you find on your smartphone. You’re probably already more than familiar with the big ones (Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) but did you know that nearly every restaurant chain has their own smartphone app? They’re free to download, and they’re full of coupons, discounts and loyalty programs that can save you a whole mouthful of money. Mouthwatering right?

Scroll down for a few of the south’s favorite restaurants with apps that are serving up big savings:
